Hacking Accidentally Removed Solder Pad

[CoffeeOwl88]

I accidentally removed a solder pad from my RP2040 Oled ribbon. I don't have another ribbon to use and don't have the skills to repair that solder pad. What else can I wire that resistor to instead?

it isn't connected anywhere. The pad was here just to hold FPCB in place

Really?? Well thanks, that's good news!

did you knock off component in the red circle that you circled?

nop is an anchor point of the OLED ribbon

but, I also am worried about the SOC component on which the ribbon will be anchored, seems from the first picture something is missing or damaged.

Im not sure but I think you bridged D-point to ground!!! I recommend to measure before powering your OLED.

thats just ground pad on that resistor pad far from cpu, and yea I think op bridged GROUND and CLK together .

Im also not sure if I see it right on the picture but I think that the D-point (clk) is not grinded and soldered?

Thanks, I did go back and fix that.

does your switch modchip installation work now?

It does, although I ran into another issue but I'm about to make another thread about that, thank you.
